I just found someone to help me so i guess i will give him Baytril by injection now.

I have seen my vet injecting the birds for many times but never try it myself, i could try but i think i need someone to help holding the birds and i'm the only one at home now.

I have to do one now, so I will get a picture if you think that will help.

Can Peafowl get mareks? Mareks birds will become absolutely infested with worms of all kinds and will bounce back after treatment but then go downhill again as the illness progresses. I had a turkey come down with mareks, so I'm assuming that peafowl are the same- they usually don't get it but they can. the yellow fecal reminds me of liver damage from mareks and the black might be indicative or pancreatic issues. or the bird might just have worms. Lets not forget about tapes. Fenbendazole and albendazole are great for just about everything else, but praziquantel is still the only sure thing with those nasty helminths.


After reading the thread so far, I would have gone with sulfadimethoxazine and fenbendazole first. Then if no improvement, I would have gone with baytril but baytril should only be given to birds orally, the acidity in the stomach helps to increase its activity.

I would make sure that your vet is rotating dewormers. Giving the same dewormer- especially if its ivermectin- creates resistance in the parasite population.

My favorite treatments for coccidia are toltrazuril and sulfadimethoxazine- as far as I'm concerned, giving them amprolium is like giving them sugar water.

This is the one from yesterday that I was thinking of.

The bird is hardly moving, is this mean he is dehydrated?

You could put some water down his throat with a syringe.
